Sounds of pages being flipped could be heard and an enticing voice could be heard reading, her voice was so charming that anyone that hears this will feel bewitched and by her said laid a little boy about 3 years old. He lifted his head stirring deeply at his mom. His look was so endearing
And from her pleasing voice, she said
"As time withers away
My love for you will forever remain
withstanding its degrading flow
And in an endless cycle will it be
To my little Yelline
Never give up on this love
Always hold it dear to your heart
For it will be a shield unto you
When you can't take it anymore
Think of your dad and mom
Who love and cherish you so much
For you are a gift to them
So stay strong
Even when sadness takes your mind astray
Let your heart not be intoxicated
With the pain but rather Love "
By F.

For greatness beyond reach
Do everything you can
To be worth it

"So what do you think of this one isn't it nice.?" she asked "itz nice momi"
Soon afterward her phone rang,
"momi yor fone iz rigin"
oh she exclaimed looking at him as she reaches out to pick the call
"Guess who is a calling she asked .?" iz dad replied Yelline
"Hey honey how are you doing and how is my little cutie pie fairing," James asked Just then a sharp shout was heard as Yelline screamed saying "mi uot lilta mi big boi"
"I know you are not little you are a very big boy" James interjected so tell me how are you?
"Dadi me yam faine,wen yoi cumin ome ?" he asked with a delighted expression on his face as his eyes glittered with anticipation at his father's reply.
"I am on my way home don't worry and I bought lots of nice candies for you" James replied in amusement as he laughed the way his son spoke
"Yelline let me speak with your precious mom then get back to you"
"oh wat is pricos ?" and Just as James was about to reply, Rachel whispered into Yelline's eyes and his iris could be seen contracting with a hint of astonishment as his father look at him and was more like what did she just tell him.
Yelline looked forth his mom and later stirred as his dad weirdly with an amused smile on his face. As he jumped down from his mom embrace running out of the room where they were in
James stirred at Rachel and asked " what did you tell him for him to act that way "
"That I can't say my moonlight unless you get home fast"
Feeling kinda let down he looked at her and said
" it seems you are becoming pretty over the days, I can't believe I got married to an angel in disguise"
She stirred at the phone looking at him and asked
"Well I want to hear you whisper that in my ears"
Saying all this with a seductive expression like a lioness that couldn't wait for her mate to jump crazily on her.
"w wait I am currently driving do you want me to have a mishap due to this teasing attitude of yours"
She looked blankly at him and pouted her jaws while laughing saying "Oh you so stiff in your thoughts relax if the worse come to the worse just blow off all speed lights like that day"
Just then a sound of shattered glass could be heard
James asked, "what just got broke. ?"
he added, "where did Yell go to. ?"
"My love focus on your driving let's meet when you get home, we can continue from where we ended hopefully I can make you have a big mishap down there"
"You naughty girl you aren't serious okay let me hurry over my lady" As he said so he wished her goodbye and ended the call.
Rushing to go look for Yelline she found him in the kitchen as soon as she entered the kitchen he stirred at her with eyes like those of a puppy holding unto his bleeding finger with tears over his face
His expression was so sorrowful that Rachel felt like her hand was about melting. Shattered pieces of glass could be seen around him and she asked
"What happened to you" and hearing her question it catalyzed a series of sounds from within his throat and soon cries could be heard as loud to course an avalanche.
"snobs mo mi iz glask"
snobs snobs
"eat foy' snobs "m me pic but see it yound me" snobs with mucus coming out from his nostrils she hurriedly took a piece of cloth a disinfectant to clean his wound
Then he added snobs "mo mi blodd me dye blodd" This scene was so pitiful causing her to feel sad carrying and comforting him she reassured him that everything will be alright.
As they left the kitchen for the living room she finished cleaning up his wound and put a cute bandage over his wound. Seeing this Yelline let out a smile and said
"tant ku momi" she then said "let me clean the kitchen and come read you a nice poem" his eyes lit with anticipation as he nodded his head.
He enjoyed listening to his mom reading poems so much especially the ones written by his uncle F.
F was Rachel Junior brother and was good in the art of poetry
7 minutes later Rachel returned with a book in her hands as she sat by Yelline's side she lifted him up laying his head on her chest
Yelline remained silent and focus as he heard the flipping of pages over and over suddenly it came to an end his eyes contracted as his ears got lost in the flow of sound coming from his mother voice
" Oh Yelline do you know
How great it was
When the melody of your cry
Petrified the shadows in my world
Shrinking the darkness
And driving them away
You brought life
Into my world
And with you came light
Enough to make the darkness
Flee before you
I heard the brightness
Of the sun can blind one's eyes
But your brightness didn't blind me
Rather it obscured my sorrows
Filling my heart with joy
Oh my precious one
You are a magnificent fable
And my days
Shall speak of your tales
Just so you know how much you mean to me "
By F
She breathes in and smiled as Yelline had fallen asleep due to her melodious voice.
...............
On the highway road in Yaounde around Bastos, One could see a
huge line of traffic. Nkem James could be seen sited in his car holding the starring with a frown on his face as he thought
I can't believe I got caught in traffic oh my goodness this isn't fair.
Lamenting his current situation. He suddenly smiles as he felt deep in his thoughts.
...............
It's almost 3 years now since he was born. I got feared I would lose him like the other 2. At least God deciding to bless me.
Think back at this he wondered to himself at the incident that occurred that evening
Doctor Larrison died without even a confession making things hard for them to find the real culprit.
Waving his head he said "I shouldn't think about such things again what matters is that things are alright now"
As brighter thoughts stepped into his mind, he couldn't help but reflect over.
Loud cries could be heard coming from a beautiful 2 story building house. Two individuals moved swiftly up and down in a hurry.
"Rachel please feed him now, let me warm soon water for him to bathe," James said as he rushed into the kitchen taking a pot and putting on the gas plate he immediately turn the gas on he lit the fire.
"I did that 20 minutes ago," Rachel said as she held the small Yelline into her hands taking up her shirt and bring her nipple close to his mouth, he put his hands on her breast opening his mouth, and just as he closed his mouth
He began sucking on her nipple with a lot of force and she muttered loudly "Just how hungry were you"
Looking at him she wiped off tears from his face. James came over and looked at the scene with a funny expression on his face
"wow he surely does know how to fill his stomach"
he said
That reminds me "I barely did get sleep last night because of two naughty boys here" Rachel interjected as she stirred at him with a smile
"Oh, two naughty boys?" "Did I do anything wrong last night?" he asked
"Of course you did"
"I had to take care of Yell and at the later time you came for me to take care of you"
Saying so with a sorrowful expression on her face contrary to the previous expression this time.
James was quite the active type when it comes to sexual intercourse with his wife and he did treat her well each time they laid together.
Just that since the coming of Kuobi Yelline, her responsibility turned to be divided, as well as her time.
James walked close to her with a smile and gave a perk on her neck and whispered within her ears
"My rose you are
And a bee I am
And that I can't deny
To resist is beyond my control
For it entices me
Your sweet aroma it attracts me
Charmed by your eccentric sapidity
Each day I will want you
I can only submit to your demands "
By F
"Stop flattering me with all this already, my heart will melt if you keep doing this" Rachel said with a great smile on her face as she turned her eyes away from James and looked at Yelline.
I can't believe he memorized such poems to use them against me
laughing to her own thoughts Rachel was a lover of poetry. So she had her brother write lots of poems for her and her husband
And since the birth of Yelline he focused on a new book but refused to let her know the title saying in 3 years during her son's 3rd birthday he'll officially gift the book to him.
But that didn't stop him from sending poems to Yelline daily. For his family, he could do that daily.
"Why did you suddenly become shy" James stirred at her as he muttered then he noticed how Yelline was focusing his gaze on him and suddenly had a thought
"Did he hear what I was saying to his mom"
Well he wasn't all wrong if one could imagine Yelline's thoughts it will be this way
"Stop disturbing mom I am having my meal go away" and he surely will be roaring with hostility.
It's but normal to think that way no man will want to be disturbed during his meal.
"Well, I should be asking you when did you become a sweet talker. These days you are so good at with words " Rachel replied with a hint of pleasure in her voice.
Every woman will want to be pleased with words and affection showed to her but Rachel wasn't like another woman she was James woman a sister to a poet so in her thoughts reside a sea of poems for her to swim in them.
She closed her eyes and bewitching statements came from her captivating voice.
"I am the moon
And from my light
I brighten the world
Illuminating it with beauty
Several stars revolt around me
But only one will be chosen
To be by me till the end
And by his presence will my loneliness fade
To him, I will dedicate all my being
And my love will I bestow upon him forever
Just as he gratifies me with love, affection, and care
So our feelings will never cease but burn till the end "
By F.
When her reading came to an end James remained speechless and asked
"So I was the lucky star to be chosen right" and she replied
"You weren't lucky but rather I was the one blessed to have found you"
His body slowly moved to her as he tilts his downward-moving his lips closer to hers.
With anticipation she awaited the kiss, silent reigned for that moment until an awkward situation occurred just when they were about to endearingly share a passionate kiss.
A jealous guy interrupted the scene with a burst of cry. This was more of an onslaught to the ear rather than a pleasant melody.
As James moved backward the cries came to an end as Yelline looked at his mom like someone that was cheated upon.
Rachel looked at James pitiful expression and winked at him saying
"Don't worry when he sleeps I will be all yours" James laughed as he heard this.
"Do you remember what I told you the day of Yelline's birth?" Rachel asked
"Not sure anymore" he replied
"Okay let me help you remember it was..."
"Oh you jerk can't you see the traffic is over move your car rather than wasting our time over here," said a man at the back of his car.
Just then he looked in front and noticed the traffic was slowly dissipating and those at the rear of him had a frown on their faces.
He quickly understood the situation and resumed his driving without saying a word to the eyes that all looked at him with frowns on their faces.
As he drove he thought to himself
Those days really were worth remembering he brought the missing piece of joy we needed. Our love was really spiced up after his birth.
So as he could see kids playing on a nearby lawn as he looked through the window,
I think I need to get Yell a ball so he can play around with, that will surely keep him busy. He thought
Yelline was an active kid with one of the highest records of broken glasses and toys. He loved playing and was so carefree well it's normal for a child at his age.
Luckily he was born in a family that can provide him all he needs. If only James knew that the ball he will buy will cause an incident that will almost make Rachel lose her mind.
...............
"Mo mi momi piii, I wan pii" shaking his mom she finally opened her eyes and left for the bathroom with Yelline.
"Go on an pee" she said
As she stretches her body and moved close to the mirror looking at her reflection, she slowly opened the tape and put some water on her face to drive away the remnant sleep from her eyes
Yelline opened his little mouth yawning as she finished washing her face, she moved to Yelline and cleaned him up letting him wash his hands
As they left the bathroom for the living room Rachel decided to get dinner ready as she looked at the clock
Then she said "Yell come let's go warm food your daddy will soon be here"
"Okay momi" he replied as he ran towards the kitchen
"Momi wat wi yor wam" he asked with excitement
"Since I cooked water fufu and eru in the afternoon I will warm it for your dad to come to enjoy it you know he likes it right. ?"
"yas me kow he ike eru" he replied while clapping his hands being so joyful
Waterfufu and eru was a delicies among the Cameroonian dishes and lots of people enjoyed eating this meal.
It was made with Eru which is a type of vegetable mixed with water-leaf, crayfish, palm oil, meat, dry fish, salt, and maggi. These were the ingredients required to make the soup and its compliment waterfufu was made of fermented cassava.
When cooked its aroma is worth millions.
Just as she was done with warming the meal, she began dressing the dinner table with Yelline's help.
Sounds of an engine could be heard.
As James parked his car in the garage.
Just as he was about to open the door to the car.
A knock could be heard at the door.
